[QUOTE="Old Fezziwig, post: 217496, member: 59"] The Dead of Winter Campaign is a DnD3e-Call of Cthulhu d20 hybrid set in the Forgotten Realms. The players find themselves in a small, isolated mining village called Caerrhen in the northwestern section of Impiltur. Located on the banks of the lake at the end of River Icehilt, Caerrhen is bordered by the Earthwood to the north and the Earthspur Mountains to the west and south. It is the middle of the all too brief Impilturan summer, and tomorrow is Shieldmeet, the midsummer festival. Although warm enough now, the icy chill of winter is only a short way off… [b]Notes[/b] I'm looking for around 5-6 players total. I'm 90% sure I already have two, so that would leave 3-4 slots open. I'd have 3-4 turns a week, so it shouldn't be too too time intensive. Otherwise, if you're game, post here, let me know what you'd like to play, and then post a character. Ideally we'd have at least a multiclassed Cleric... Oh — this campaign has nothing in common with the "Dead of Winter" adventure from the PHB CD-Rom — I just liked the title...
